Weeel Dougal, yer a toucan that loves yer scrat o the back o the neck the day.

Mind, yer moultin an seekin a coorie-in mair than usual.

Translate:

scrat: scratch, claw.

Well well Dougal you’re a toucan that loves your scratch on the nape of the neck today.

Of course I realise that you’re moulting and seeking to cuddle in close more than usual.

Along with many other commonalities we share with our animal fellow travelers on this wee blue marble sailing through vast emptiness.
